Northern Lights Limited at Railroad Museum of New England - Naugatuck Railroad

The Northern Lights Limited is our evening train, departing Thomaston Station for Santa's Workshop. Leaving under the cover of nightfall, experience the magic as the lights inside and out of each car are lit, illuminating the entire train in a soft, cheerful glow. Upon departure, you will be taken directly to the Santa's Workshop, picking up Santa and Mrs. Claus for all to see. Once on board the train, Santa and Mrs. Claus will take turns visiting with all those on board as the train slowly glides along through the night. While Santa is visiting each of all the good boys and girls on the train, his team will entertain you. Each child will get an extra special gift from Santa's toy bag.

***A message from the Museum Board of Trustees and Railroad Management,

We have decided to keep our prices the same in 2025 while providing the same quality experience and service as we did in 2024. While prices are rising at other holiday events, we remain committed to remaining a preeminent New England family holiday experience. While prices have gone up for us we have chosen not to pass that cost along to the customer.***
